McLeod (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

McLeod remains on injured reserve but had his 21-day practice window opened 17 days ago, meaning the Jaguars will need to make a decision on McLeod by early next week. The sixth-round rookie linebacker has yet to appear in a regular-season game this season after being placed on injured reserve Aug. 27.

Mickens (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Mickens posted an LP/LP/FP practice log during Week 18 prep and has a chance to return from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The rookie sixth-rounder has worked in a rotational role in the secondary but could see more defensive snaps Sunday if Elijah Molden (hamstring) is not cleared to play.

Mekari (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Mekari will miss a second straight game after he was injured in the Week 16 win over the Broncos. Walker Little will likely make another start at right guard for the Jaguars.

Autry (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

After missing the first five games of the season, Autry has produced eight tackles (five solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one pass breakup as a rotational lineman for the Texans.

Bozeman (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Bozeman was limited in the first two practices of Week 18 prep before logging a full practice Friday, indicating that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol. The final step before clearing protocol is to pass an evaluation by an independent neurologist. If Bozeman is unable to play against Denver, then Andre James would likely start at center.

Brown (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Brown didn't practice at all last week before missing last Saturday's win over the Chargers. After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Brown was limited Thursday and Friday, giving him a shot to play against Indianapolis.

Hill (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Hill missed time with a hamstring injury recently and will now miss his second straight contest with the calf issue. A special-teams fixture for Houston, Hill has produced six tackles (five solo) across 239 snaps in kick coverage.

Molden (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Molden has started all 12 games in which he's appeared this season, but his regular season appears to be over. If that's the case, he'll finish with 52 tackles (28 solo) and one interception on 75 percent of the defensive snaps.

Salyer (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

The Chargers are resting most of their key starters and anyone battling injuries, so Salyer sitting makes sense. Austin Deculus could be a candidate to make the start at left tackle.

Scott (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Scott was placed on injured reserve in early October due to a knee injury. His practice window opened in mid-December, but despite being a full participant in practice all week, the 2023 fifth-rounder will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale. Scott logged two solo tackles across four regular-season games while contributing mostly on special teams and will aim to be fully healthy for the 2026 campaign.
